You may have noticed the fancing code snippets that accompany many of the tutorials on this website! I would love to say I developed this myself, but the truth is that this is a free resource free for anybody to download and use. It is called SyntaxHighlighter and can be found at http://code.google.com/p/syntaxhighlighter/.
What is Included?
So what does the Syntax Highlighter come with? Below is a list my favorite features of this software:
- It’s completely free!
- Associate keywords for supported languages are highlighted.
- Each line of code is numbered and colored for easier reading!
- Allows one click to code only view.
- Allows one click copy to clipboard of code.
- Allows one click copy to printer.
What Comes With the Download
The file can be downloaded from their official website at http://code.google.com/p/syntaxhighlighter/ as a rar compressed file. Inside the compressed file, you will find various folders and files. The core files that are required include:
- clipboard.swf
- shCore.js
- SyntaxHighlighter.css
Still, there are many more JavaScript files that have been included in the download. Not all of these files are required. Instead, you choose additional optional JavaScript files for the programming or scripting languages you want the Syntax Highlighter to associate.
